Ingersoll Rand released two new surface preparation tools, the Ingersoll Rand 360-313 and 360-418 Pneumatic Belt Sanders. The sanders help technicians remove stubborn material and create a smooth finish in every nook and cranny. Using class-leading 0.6 horsepower motors that are 20% faster than the competing products, the sanders power through long days of sanding, deburring, and removing spot welds, seam sealer, rust, or deposits.
“Technicians will appreciate the ease at which they can work with the new Ingersoll Rand belt sanders,” says Jennifer Travis, Product Manager of Surface Preparation and Construction Tools and Accessories at Ingersoll Rand. “These versatile sanders are lightweight with a highly ergonomic design that require no additional tools to change the belts or adjust the articulating arm.”
Loaded with power, the sanders generate maximum removal rates so the shop team can make rate while producing high-quality finishes. The sanders have an adjustable four-position power regulator that technicians set to match the toughness of the material, from heavy weld removal to fine finishing.
No spot will be overlooked with the tool-free articulating arm equipped on the Ingersoll Rand Pneumatic Belt Sanders. Quickly use the cam-lock to adjust the angle of the sanders’ articulating arm within a 270-degree range to reach tight areas such as rivets or welds. No tools are required to adjust the angle, simplifying life in the shop.
The 360-313 model has a 3/8” by 13” arm, and model 360-418 measures 1/2” by 18”. Both have an Arbor speed of 20,000 Revolutions per Minute (RPM) and a belt or surface speed of 4,700 Surface Feet per Minute (SFPM). A side button on the arm of the sander quickly tightens the arm for abrasive changes.
The multipurpose sanders are flexible, meeting the needs of applications in auto body work, vehicle service and repair, and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) in light-industrial sectors. Either sander works effectively on metal, plastic, fiberglass, wood, and other materials.
Small and lightweight, the sanders provide superior comfort and ergonomics. Their narrow rubber grips are easy to hold, and they are built with a chemical-resistant composite that holds up to the harsh environment of the shop.
Belts to smooth, finish, and remove material are available in a kit that includes a 60-, 80-, and 100-grit belt.
